Shouhikona Shrine

In Nanao's Wakura hot spring district stands a shrine honoring the small deity of thermal waters. Shouhikona Shrine warms body and spirit within one of Japan's historic spa towns. The hot spring embraces like the mother's womb, transforming all who immerse themselves. Whether ill or whole, all alike receive equal blessing in these sacred waters. As Wakura breezes blow eternal, this shrine's light has outshone a thousand years and shines on still.
